State v. J.B.

June, 2023
Charges: 3rd Degree DWI-Refusal - Gross Misdemeanor; 4th Degree DWI - Misdemeanor

Plea to the misdemeanor 4th Degree DWI. Client was placed on probation with no time to serve, credit for the proactive steps completed, and we even argued successfully to the Court to not impose a no use and testing provision due to the client's business development obligations. What makes this result so fantastic is that the client was uncooperative with police overall (including refusing both the evidentiary test at the station and the PBT on the side of the road) and demonstrated tell-tale signs of significant impairment. Under those circumstances, obtaining a plea deal to the fourth-degree is very hard to achieve, especially in Scott County. Still, Mr. Gempeler achieved exactly this and the desired terms of probation from the Court. Another great result achieved by the North Star team.
